Grow Timeline (37 updates)
Now the growth phase can begin. Today, I’ll be repotting the plants from 0.5L into 2.0L pots, and then, in about 16 days, doing the final transplant into 14-liter pots. I’ll be documenting the process and sharing it with you all. Thanks for your attention and help! Cool community here ❤️ Have a great Saturday, everyone! 🙂 🙃 😊
Today, I repotted from 0.5-liter Light Mix pots into 2.0-liter pots filled with All Mix, and watered them with Root Complex to help alleviate stress. After pH adjustment, the irrigation water had a temperature of 20.3°C and a pH value of 6.52. I think they experienced very little stress during the repotting process! :) I plan to top them next week and begin Low Stress Training. Until the next update—have a great day, everyone!
Should I top it now that it's turning yellow, or wait for another 1–2 nodes? What do you guys think?
I can't upload photos?!
Hi 👋 Okay, yeah, that was my plan too. I wasn't sure exactly when yet, but I'm going to let them grow one more node, and then all 10 will get topped. Thanks!
I started germinating my first seeds five years ago, and since then, it has become a true passion. It is simply wonderful to watch the plants grow, and the grower community is really cool, too.
I’ve got 6 and just top mine a week ago I might even top once more and spread them out with a net (growing outdoors)
Hey, Yeah, I’m growing indoors. I only have overhead lighting there, so you really need an even canopy of flowers to ensure the final result is of good, consistent quality. Cheers.
I’m working on trying towards a tent then a green house one day (little by little) I just started back growing after 15 plus years, it’s like learn all over again but these look straight so far good job
Hi growers
I actually wanted to top them 8 days ago, but I changed my mind and decided to let them grow a bit longer. Today—8 days later—they’re all getting topped and tied down. Once a nice, even canopy has developed in a week or two, I’ll switch to a 12/12 light cycle to trigger flowering. I’ll post an update later with before-and-after photos.
See ya later—happy growing!
Performed watering
Sweet
Low stress training
Hey growers 🍀👋✌️
Day 9 of flowering
Yesterday, I watered with bloom nutrients for the first time They also got another dose of veg nutrients for the stretch I'm curious to see how much this strain (Critical) will stretch In a few days, I'll bump the light up from 290 watts to 430 watts Let's see how the ladies like it 😉
Have a great day
So sexy
Oh shit these are from ganjafarmer 🤘They jus hooked me up with some seeds for free last month 3 strains. Really good company happy they moved a seller to USA
Hey, thanks. Yeah, they’re the Critical strain from Ganjafarmer, and so far, they’ve all been top-notch. Yeah, free seeds are always cool—which strains did you get, if you don't mind me asking, and were they easy to grow? I’ve done several runs with their seeds and can only say good things about Ganjafarmer Seeds; I’m really happy with them so far.
Gelato 45 glookies an fat bastard all feminized. An I cant answer thqt other questions I haven't had a chance to run em yet. Will be after this room lol🤘 I've heard a lot of good things about them tho. id definitely defoliate an hop up your lights a lil. Besides that, that's a beautiful strain growing vigerously.
That's cool—Fat Bastard is on my grow list. I've heard a lot about that strain; it's supposed to have great genetics. I'm going to give it a try in a few weeks. I'll put together a grow report on it then. I'd be interested to see it when you start your new run and test out the strains. And what did you mean about the light? Should I hang the light higher or increase the wattage? And how can you tell? I'm curious about that. 😉 Thanks a lot, and have a great day.
If you can up your lights a lil so she's praying thatll open her up a lil more. And give you a little tighter nug structure at the beginning. Keep a eye on the tips an leaves for anything adverse since they probably aren't used to really strong light yet tho.
Okay, thanks—yes, I can increase the power. Right now it's at 430W, and I can bump it up to 580W or 720W. I'll be getting a controller soon so I can dim the lights continuously. Yeah, it's best when the leaves are positioned so the plants are "worshipping" the light—that’s how you know they’re doing well. Thanks for the tips.
But to know it's worth it, you have to know the strain—or do you just go by the visuals, meaning the plant's appearance?
Today is flower day 31
I have a fail by the last update with the time I don't know why maybe I smoke too much 😅
Tomorrow I clean the plants and tent to make good pictures from the plants for a new update 🙂🙃
Wish you a good day and nice growing 👍 🙂 👌
Flower Day 36
Hey growers
Since the plants had been looking worse over the last few days, I had to dunk them today because there were dry spots in the pots. I placed each pot in a bucket of pH-adjusted water for 15–25 minutes until no more air bubbles rose to the surface. Three hours after dunking, they all looked healthy and vigorous again. Now they can focus on the final weeks of flowering and produce delicious buds. Best regards and have a great evening.
So I'm guessing under watering? But that could say your microbs r depleted so your plants not taking in water properly?!?
Yeah, exactly. Because of under-watering, the soil became hydrophobic and would only absorb 1.5–2 liters of water, whereas I normally water with 3.5–4.5 liters. And the improper watering is what triggered the nutrient deficiencies. Today, they look fit and healthy again (I'm posting an update today), and I use only mineral fertilizers.
Hey 👋 Oh, what did your Daydream do to you—or rather, to itself? Was it under too much stress and reacted to that? Or was it due to environmental conditions?
Yeah, okay—so the plant wouldn't have produced many flowers anyway. Sometimes it's better to start over than to try and nurse a weak plant through to the end. So it was definitely the right decision.
Yessir long story short. I didn't water enough. I thought maybe I watered too much so I didntbgive her water for a lil. But then I thought maybe I needed to up pot so transplanted stressed her then hermed but at that point she was already stressed
Oh okay Many growers have problems by watering right It's important to know how watering your (@all) plants
Hey Lynchcorp If you have any questions or if I can help in any way, let me know—send me a message. I’m happy to help if I can. We never stop learning.
Yoo I appreciate that. I'm Gucci rn tho. But I'll deffo keep that in mind, same goes to you too brother 🤞🤘
Thanks, that's cool. We need to help each other as a community. The grow community is constantly growing, and together we're stronger. Thanks, and have a great day, bro. 🙂
Fuck ya🤘tis the point of being here. If it wasn't for helping people who have no idea what they doin probably wouldn't be around much.
Yeah, I see it the same way. We all started small and, over time, acquired knowledge that we can—and should—share. I think your attitude is great. Keep it up.
Thanks a lot. Yeah, I'm also curious to see how these perform. My wife chose the strain because she loves caramel terps. We're excited to see how it looks, smells, and tastes later on. I'll share it with you all. Thank you 😊
Wish my plants were done so I can run one of these I got glookies, fat bastard or gelato 41 Then I have from another company gg4, banana kush, dosido would of loved to run one witcha maybe next time tho
Fat Bastard and Do-Si-Dos are on my list too. A friend grew the Do-Si-Dos and I tried them—the terps were amazing, seriously delicious 😋 And it was a massive yielder, even though that’s not the most important thing. Quality matters more than yield (in my opinion). The Caramel seeds have sprouted and are being planted today. I’ll upload photos later.
Dude i lost my critical to a bug 2 days ago.😭
Did they send these on a promo?
Hey No normally price by ganjafarmer
Oh man thats mad
